Commercial Vehicles Depend on Quality Castings for the Long Road Ahead

Downtime costs money, no matter what cargo you’re carrying. Supply chain managers and design engineers count on Waupaca Foundry to get commercial vehicle fleets on the road and keep budgets in line.

Our durable gray iron, ductile iron, high-strength ductile and austempered ductile iron casting components are used in diesel engines, transmissions, suspension and driveline components, and wheel end components of commercial vehicles. Waupaca Foundry iron is consistent, so you can expect strict dimensional control and performance capacity from your order today or next year. High-quality iron castings ensure Class 4-8 trucks and trailers spend more time on the road, even as fleets age.
